Abstract

This study explores students' perspectives on critical reading, a crucial skill for academic success and intellectual development, focusing on fourth-semester undergraduates at STKIP YPUP Makassar. By analyzing their responses, the research identifies key factors influencing their engagement with critical reading practices. Although students reported a degree of confidence in their critical reading skills, they encountered significant challenges, including limited vocabulary, difficulty understanding complex texts, and inadequate resources. These findings highlight a disconnect between students' perceived abilities and their actual performance, suggesting that their confidence may not fully reflect their competencies in critical reading. The study underscores the need for improved teaching methods to address these challenges effectively. It suggests that educators should develop more targeted instructional strategies and provide additional resources to support students in overcoming their difficulties with critical reading. Given the students' reliance on teacher guidance, enhancing instructional practices is essential for helping them build stronger critical reading skills. The implications of these findings are significant for curriculum development and instructional practices in higher education, offering valuable insights for creating more effective approaches to foster critical reading skills and support students' academic success.

Abstract

This century's learning advancement relies on different information technology mediums. Thus, educators must improve their ICT skills to improve learning and academic performance. There are two main goals of this study: 1) to find out how TPACK is used to teach and learn English in high school; and 2) to find out what problems English teachers run into when they try to use TPACK. The type of study being done is qualitative. Interviews, documentation, and observation were some of the methods used to gather information for this study. This study looks at 34 kids from XII IPA and one English teacher. English teachers' TPACK knowledge comes from how well technology fits with their teaching methods and English subject knowledge. Technology lets the teacher apply several instructional strategies for several learning environments. According to the Merdeka Curriculum, technology allows SMA 13 Makassar students to learn at their own pace and according to their choices. The English teacher utilized Quizizz or Google Classroom to handle assignments and provide timely feedback. Network service variability affects student engagement and learning equity. SMA 13 Makassar students may need help with coursework, internet forums, and extracurricular resources. While TPACK-based teaching depends on online resources, unreliable network connectivity limits availability. English teachers needing digital libraries, web-based platforms, or multimedia materials need consistent internet access. Unreliable access to these tools can interfere with courses requiring live quizzes, direct assessments, or online group projects to help students grasp complex English literature.
